Maybe it’s the wine — we’ve had good luck finding good wine deals in California. Or maybe it’s because I’m having a tough time finding (and rationalizing the cost) of something unique and new. Jim Beam was really a budget choice — I’ve had it before. It’s great for Manhattans and rye old-fashions, but we typically lack ice and proper garnishes (I did bring a bottle of bitters), so it’s a bit out of its element if you’re out in the elements.

Read Our Book:

Read about Paul fighting off a charging bear with a Fat Tire beer can (kinda made up). And this: Lisa meeting a talking piece of poo in the middle of the desert (maybe that was dehydration). And we realize that the meaning of life is wrapped up in a motel waffle (this is probably true).
